The many advantages of VOIP

By Steven Donlin

Voip, or Voice Over Internet Protocol is used for transmission of voice of an IP based network.

Analog signals are converted into digital signals. These signals are sent over the internet in the form of data packets. On the receiving end, the process is simply reversed. Different codecs are used for encoding speech so it can be transmitted over the net. A session control protocol is used to begin and end the calls.

Advantages of VoIP

Saving Money

Price is one of the main benefits of switching to Voip. You pay a fixed monthly fee, but you are free to make unlimited calls to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. International rates are very low as well when compared to standard landlines.

Portability

Portability is another main benefit of Voip service. With a traditional cordless phone, you can carry on the conversation only over a small distance. With Voip, you can continue the same conversation as long as you are in range of a broadband connection. Even if you are going on vacation, you can bring your voip equipment with you and make calls wherever there is an internet connection.

Special Features

The extra features of Voip services will literally blow you away. Call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding, three-way calling and automatic call screening are just a few. The best part? There is no additional charge for these services. None, zero, NADA! They are all bundled together with an unlimited calling plan. How can you beat that?

No complicated hardware

Voip doesn't require anything special as far as hardware goes. Your existing Lan connection is all you need to make phone calls.

Other advanced features that may also be bundled in a plan are:

Account manager Call blocking Speed dial list Voice mailbox Customized ring tones

With VoIP, you get a secure connection to make calls that could not be found in land line phones. - 22787
